Live NXT Vengeance Day Discussion Thread - Saturday February 4th 2023

Not sure what Coffey was supposed to do at the end? He just slid under Wolfgang while the latter was doing a powerslam. Didb't bring anything to the move.
I'm happy they won anyway, I couldn't have put up with New Day or Pretty Deadly any longer.

Pretty decent hit-out if I must say so.

- Wes Lee vs Dijak was a barn burner, and even though I think the wrong man won, it's gonna be good story for how it continues.
- Women's tag was so-so and I can only think that K/K will be MR bound with a shit end to their reign
- 2/3 falls was absolute FIRE. Mello is fucking money and can print that shit for years. Years I tell you. Didn't give a shit about Azeez turning on Crews.
- Tag titles match was ok. I hate the fatal 4-way concept where they have to tag in. Much prefer each team having 1 person in to make it an actual 4-way. Just call it 4 corners if this is how it's done
- Women's title was decent as well, Jacy Jayne looking fit as fuck. Good story telling.
- Cage match had good story. I love the win by pin or tapout cos who wins by running away. Fucking yes that Mello seems to be next in line - give me that shit for Stand & Deliver.

Overall 6.5/10

Really enjoyed Bronson vs. Grayson. Grayson using that cage like as if he needed to drink water to survive. lol

Overall the show was good. Not amazing, but not horrible. Took me awhile to adjust NXT being in front of that bigger crowd again.

Wow Wes Lee beats Dijak clean

and I couldn’t be happier.

I dunno how I feel about them going the Melo/Bron route to be honest. Don't get me wrong, it's their biggest matchup they have but I just feel like it would be keeping Melo in NXT for longer than he needs to be providing he would win, which I would assume so. He could quite easily be a post-Mania callup, though we need to see if that remains a tradition now HHH has taken over.

Huge Wes Lee fan.Best part of the show imo.(other than the finish being kinda uh. )

 

[Jay Kong]

I enjoyed the cage match, but if Grayson just stayed where he was and not move. Bron would have never hit him.

I enjoyed this show a decent amount. I loved the 4 Way Tag, thought it was pretty tight, well booked from start to finish, lots of fun spots and with every team coming out of it looking pretty good. I was digging Chase U and wanted them to win, Duke Hudson had a killer showing. Gallus are pretty dope though, so I'm happy with that choice.

I also really enjoyed Dijack vs Lee, thought it was a fire opener, MOTN for sure. I'm glad they're booking Wes Lee so strongly as a solo guy. He's a fantastic talent.

Melo/Crews I thought was pretty nice as well. Hard to really have a bad match when you pit those two guys togther and especially when it comes to Melo.

Women's 3 Way was pretty fun when Gigi/Jayne got in to it against each other, I was impressed with Jayne's showing in this match. Some of her strikes are really nice looking, especially her knee strike she does. Roxy is great as champion.

Main event felt pretty underwhelming to me for whatever reason, something about it just didn't really click, but it was still pretty decent overall. I enjoyed Waller's elbow drop and Bron's spear at the end was awesome. I think I was hoping for a bit more with it being a cage match and having Waller in it, something off the top at least. Feel like they should have strapped up Waller here, he's got a fair deal of charsima and I enjoy his ring work. With that being said, if they're giving it to Melo, then I also don't mind waiting for that. As I think he's the total package and very deserving.
